Arai's unusual stop at the clan's territory immediately attracted the attention of Konoha's top brass, especially Shimura Danzo.
At this moment, he was sitting in the Hokage's office, his face was gloomy, and his left pupil was filled with gloom.
'hateful! Shisui's teleportation technique is really useful. '
'Not even the four hundred Iwagakure ninjas were able to strangle it! '
'Moreover, even Aburame Ryoma has lost information. How many secrets does that guy hide? '
Along with him, in addition to the Hokage Sandaime who was smoking a cigarette, there were two advisors.
"Recently, more and more Uchiha people have returned from the Kirigakure border."
After all, it was Danzo Shimura who broke the silence.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen paid no attention to it and was still indulged in the tobacco.
His current thoughts are not on the Uchiha clan at all.
But it lies in Baiyun Yeshan!
This is an eternal truth that must be settled first before fighting outsiders. In the past, most of the ninjas in the village had some opinions of one kind or another towards the proud Uchiha clan. In addition, the police force was increasingly Barbaric behavior, this should be the best situation!
The Uchiha clan was isolated.
Other families and civilian ninjas are either hostile or neutral, and have no supporters or voices at all.
However, everything changed because of the appearance of that Huang!
He stepped into the Kingdom of Water alone, faced the pursuit of hundreds of elite ninjas, and still fought back to kill a Kirikage Jonin!
The scene of him being covered in blood and holding a broken blade, fending off hundreds of ninjas by himself, made the Uchiha clan who came in a hurry went crazy. No one was left at the station, and the entire clan invaded the Kingdom of Water.
Although it is unknown what changes have occurred within the Kirigakure Village, none of the first-line elites, including the seven strongest ninja swordsmen, the tailless tailed beast, and the double-blood successor Terumi Mei, appeared in the battle.
But victory is victory.
It is also true that they invaded the hinterland of the Kingdom of Water.
Such a great victory excited the whole of Konoha, and even the ninjas who had hated Uchiha's character and style before could not help but respect him.
After all, this is the ninja world, and people worship the strong!
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worried about the adoration of ordinary ninjas and ordinary residents.
Because this is just a momentary craze.
All it takes is another big victory, another more popular family to shine, and a little more push. When people think of the arrogance and pride of Uchiha in the past, the voices will naturally shift and disappear.
It doesn’t even need to be like this. After more than two months of washing, the initial madness has slowly turned into calm.
but!
What we really need to worry about are the mainstays of Konoha who have no family ties!
Their existence directly affects the value orientation of Konoha's civilian ninjas, which is also the most prosperous and basic firepower of Konoha.
The failure of Danzo's plan has already caused Baiyun Yeshan, an elite jounin, to have different thoughts and questions.
Although the other party did not say it directly.
But this couldn't escape Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
If even powerful ninjas like Shirayun Hayama, who were far away from the political center, sided with the Uchiha, it would be an unspeakable blow to them.
'Boom. '
"Hiruzen."
Danzo Shimura whispered in a deep voice.
There was suppressed anger in his words.
He had worked hard to suppress the Uchiha's momentum, and even lost a particularly useful ANBU. Now, this guy actually looked like he was wandering around!
Are you considering the Uchiha threat?
Do you deserve to continue sitting in the position of Hokage?
Danzo's one eye narrowed, emitting a dangerous light.
Shisui's kaleidoscope has been transplanted, isn't it time to try its effects?
"Hiruzen, Danzo is right."
"I also know that you are worried about Baiyun Yeshan, but he is still alive after all."
"Currently, the most important thing is to deal with the Uchiha threat. Those Uchiha tribesmen who have retreated from the battlefield, coupled with the Sharingan, have combat capabilities that cannot be easily solved by ANBU."
Xiaochun, who went to bed, agreed.
Mito Kadoyan, who was sitting beside him, also nodded in agreement.
The clan's sudden rise in strength and reputation in the Land of Fire made them all feel palpitated.
"Oh, do you know what Baiyun Yeshan's first words were when he reported the mission after returning?"
"You are asking me what exactly is the Will of Fire!!"
"He has already guessed some clues. You should also know the consequences of causing a ninja of this level to have a grudge against the Ninja Village!"
"Now, even if the Uchiha can be purged, so what? Who will pass on the fire of Konoha and the ideals of Konoha?"
"Does it depend on the roots?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was really angry.
Angry that Danzo's two willful arrangements turned the scene into a mess.
If Iwagakure could really devour Baiyun Yeshan's team this time, then he would feel sad at most.
But it also killed the Uchiha's momentum in another way. It could even be used to transfer that clan to the northern border to take revenge and digest the opponent's effective combat power.
However, everything ended in vain because Danzo's plan failed.
yes.
Baiyun Yeshan is back.
Even the mission team with him came back alive.
An elite jounin, a jounin, such power no matter which force they belong to would not dare to give it up easily.
but!
When the other party asked what the 'will of fire' was, he knew that the other party's belief had begun to loosen.
According to the secrets brought back by ANBU.
The old days.
In order to be able to go to war with Iwagakure with peace of mind, Sunagakure Village sold out Hagakure, who possessed the Burning Release, to Kirigakure Village in the hope that a two-front war would not open up.
That time, Sand Hidden Village was undoubtedly relatively successful.
Although a powerful and loyal elite jounin was lost, the loss of more personnel was avoided, and the village had no knowledge of this matter.
But what about them?
Huang is not dead.
Baiyun Yeshan's belief loosened.
Will Iwagakure Village launch a follow-up war?
The most important point is, will Baiyun Yeshan turn to Uchiha from now on, or even lead the next generation of ninjas to turn to Uchiha?
None of this is known!
It is said that Genbu also lost a strong man from the Aburame clan.
The ninjas of that clan are all real elites!
This mission can be described as losing both my wife and my troops!
The Sandaime's anger caused the entire Hokage's office to fall into silence.
As Hokage, he thinks more about the continuation of the village.
It's true that Uchiha is an occasional threat.
But it will be even more terrifying if Ichimo loses the power of the village and causes the will of the ninjas who are loyal to the village to begin to loosen.
"The matter is over. Now is not the time to discuss losses. Danzo's original intention is also for the good of the village."
Mito Kabuto breaks the silence.
But in this case, it is obviously pale and weak.
"I will no longer waste the village's power to suppress Uchiha."
Danzo Shimura spoke at the right time.
Indeed, if Uchiha is truly eliminated, but the entire village begins to become alienated, that will be the time when Konoha will truly be destroyed.
Although the roots can solve many potential threats, they cannot maintain people's hearts and minds.
"Let's leave it to the roots."
He stood up and walked towards the door.
The defeats of Kirigakure and Iwagakure made him no longer dare to believe in the power of the outside world. He wanted to use the power of his roots to wipe out the wilderness just like he wiped out Shisui.
"Also, don't forget that the trump card to truly restrain Uchiha is still in your hands."
"The evil people who act according to their emotions can play a very good role if they are gently teased."
"With Uchiha wiped out, we no longer have to worry about the separation of other ninjas."
"Everything is still under your control, Hiruzen."
